...and cue someone on KCCI commenting that this money should be spent on lowering tuition.

Did they specify a timetable of when it will all be done?

They hope to have it done by the start of the '15 season.

 

[Dandy]

Sorry if this is a dumb question but are Reiman Gardens and Reiman Publications directly linked?

 

[CYCLNST8]

We can has a REAL stadium???

 

[Dandy]

capacity would be raised to approx what?

Lose hillside seats, gain stadium seats. Unless the bowl is both an upper and lower deck then the capacity won't change too much. Probably gain 2-3 thousand.

I believe Roy was the lead donor in that, too.

Roy Reiman started Reiman Publications (purchased by Reader's Digest later on) and then helped established the gardens.

Here are my guesses:

1. Hiring Ben Bruns as OC.
2. New scoreboard for south endzone.
3. Taking the SEZ proposal to the Regents for approval of fundraising because an anchor donor has made a commitment.
4. Getting cardinal and gold porta-pots. They removed the hideous blue ones over the weekend, but there is one left that has been spray painted cardinal and gold!

Yep!

Yeah, Roy is the Reiman that started Reiman Publications.

 

[Ciclone]

I don't have a lot of money, but I'm going to try to find $500 to put toward this. This is exciting.

Me too!

 

[BigLame]

but what way does Jamie get in the shower? Shower head side, or the other?

 

[SoapyCy]

so what is the VB announcement you all are talking about?

serious question

 

[Max57]

Yes ... the founder of Reiman Pub is an ISU grad. Spoke at the 1993 graduation and established a gift then for a beautification project => Reiman Gardens.

 

[cowgirl836]

Do you kiss your mother with that mouth! Yeah for ISU to get a $25 mil donation is HUGE!!!!! I just added them to my Christmas card list.

I wonder what I have to do to get a personal donation 1% of that size........

 

[marothisu]

It should also be said that Reiman Publications is huge. It's the largest private subscription based publication company in the US.

 

[cyhiphopp]

Anyone have a screen shot of the picture that was unveiled?

Nothing unveiled. The sheet was just a background.

I'll subscribe to one of their mags just because of this.
